Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Small Banks
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Landlord and trade work in Small Banks
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Small Banks use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What else we do in Small Banks
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets

FAQs for Small Banks
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
